Israel Clings to Five-Year Plan for West Bank Gaza
Israel's cabinet rejected a binding pledge to withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza and endorsed a policy stating that after five years of limited self rule the nature of relations with Jordan and the territories will be decided. The move drew Egyptian emphasis on withdrawal and Palestinian rejection, with Begin defending the stance as key to negotiations. The United States warned it would consult on next steps without final judgments. Begin had proposed Palestinian elections for a governing council with limited autonomy during continued Israeli military control. Sadat maintained his demand for full withdrawal from occupied lands.
